We expect the northbound carriageway of the M5 between J16 and J14 to remain closed for most of today (17/9). A significant number of resources remain at the scene of yesterday’s multi-vehicle collision and are working hard to minimise the disruption.

Good morning

Welcome to Sunday and the Bath Chronicle live blog.

We’ll have all the latest breaking news coming up shortly - including an update on yesterday’s tragic crash on the M5 - but first here’s the latest weather forecast from the Met Office:

There may be a few showers at first, but for most it will be a dry day with sunny spells. The odd shower could develop later, but with light winds it will feel warmer in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
